Chapter 7 Dali Temple Shaoqing
Author: Feng Si Niang
The carriage bumped along the way, and heavy rain pounded the windows outside. Du Heng and Xue Feiqing were speechless for the rest of the way.
Agarwood was still burning in the carriage. Jingse felt very stuffy, but Du Heng was very familiar with this smell. Xue Feiqing, like her brother, had a slight heart disease and had been burning this incense all year round.
What Du Heng didn't know was that he burned incense even when it rained heavily to hide a certain smell.
Now in such a familiar environment, Du Heng rarely let down his guard and began to think about things.
The fact that the Lin family was suddenly convicted is strange. Although it was because Grandpa's letters were captured by the Jin Yiwei, all the men in the Lin family happened to be in Beijing before the official decree was issued by the Holy Emperor. No one slipped through the net. This is clearly a trend of uprooting
.
Moreover, Zhou Xian, who was engaged to her, and her brother's best friend Xue Feiqing happened to be out together. From the order of confiscation of the house to the execution of everyone in the house, it only took three days.
One of them is the grandson of the emperor, and the other is the prince of the Hou family. They led their fathers to plead for the Lin family, and the Holy Emperor will definitely consider it. However, the two of them went to Jiangnan Road together and were transferred away from the mountain. Naturally, the water far away cannot relieve the fire close.
In the face of "irrefutable evidence", no one in the court dared to say anything on behalf of the Lin family. Only a few of Grandpa's closest friends bravely spoke out, but all of them were convicted.
Du Heng clenched his fists and forced himself to loosen them.
What was written in the letter submitted to the Holy Collaboration? It would make the Lin family, a family of civil servants, guilty of treason;
The elder brother was sent to Lingchi, which was obviously to draw him out of the situation, and he was bound to catch them all;
He was able to imitate his grandfather's letters, and even gathered all the men in their family together. He knew that Zhou Xian and Xue Feiqing must have turned to the Lin family after the incident, and this must be the Lin family's mole.
She still had too many things to do. Before, the Lin family's servants had to fight to the death to protect her, the only child of the Lin family, from leaving the capital. But with the publicity spreading throughout the city, how could she not know that her entire family was about to be beheaded and her brother was imprisoned?
If she didn't know, she might actually plot revenge, but she knew! How could she not show up at the execution ground...
Just as she thought on the day she showed up at the execution ground, if she was the only one left in the Lin family and she was left to live alone, revenge would be meaningless. It would be better to die together and let the world know how the Zhou royal family secretly murdered loyal ministers and was ruthless.
of!
But now, God has given her another chance to live. If she doesn't take revenge on her enemies, then there is no point in living!
But fortunately, the existing clues are that her final words on the day of the execution did hit the point.
Zhou Xian's third uncle has always been disobedient. He felt that his brother, the prince, was weak and incompetent, and he wished he could replace him;
As for the Eighth Prince, even though he looked like the "Eight Wise King" in the past, he was actually full of bad intentions.
The third prince is brave and foolhardy, but the eighth prince is like a poisonous snake in the jungle and must not be ignored.
Who among the two of them participated in the massacre of the Lin family...
Interestingly, Lin Zhijun's aunt Lin Ling married the eldest son of the current General Secretary, Sheng Ruchi, and Sheng Ruchi's cousin, Sheng Yu, was the young master who was engaged to Du Zhilan.
At the banquet a few days ago, Du Heng saw Xiao Zimei, but not the female members of the Sheng family.
She thought that with the tortuous relationship between relatives now, she must find an opportunity to see how her little aunt is doing...
While Du Heng's brain was running rapidly, Xue Feiqing was looking at her from the corner of his eye. It wasn't until Du Heng arrived at his destination that the two of them said goodbye again.
Du Heng went out today, so he had the approval of the head of the family. She had issued a military order to Du Shengping, and he was bound to get the position of Minister of Dali Temple.
If not, she wouldn't be able to come and go as freely.
His father Lin Yang once said that neither of his two subordinates were incompetent. In terms of overall ability, they were equally matched, but they were not saints and they all had their own shortcomings.
Du Shengping came from a poor family and took the imperial examination. Compared with solving cases, he is better at flattering his superiors and can often come up with the best of both worlds;
Another Shaoqing of Dali Temple was the son of the former Yushi Zuodu of the Duchayuan. The father and son had exactly the same stubbornness and hatred of evil.
The old censor made many enemies, but his son, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, had his boss Lin Yang rub his butt many times because of his impartiality in enforcing the law;
My father also said that with such a personality, he should be suitable to be a local prosecutor or magistrate, not in the capital.
The two young ministers of Dali Temple usually didn't deal with each other, and they didn't like each other.
Du Heng actually came up with an idea that allowed Du Shengping to get what he wanted:
Just before the entire Lin family was executed, what caused an uproar in the capital was the kidnapping of the granddaughter of the Duke of Qin.
Because my grandfather had a close personal relationship with Duke Qin, and my brother was engaged to Duke Qin's eldest granddaughter, the Lin family was also very concerned about this matter.
The youngest granddaughter of the Duke of Qin is the apple of the eyes of the elders in the family. She is only fourteen years old, as old as a flower.
She is usually pampered by adults, because she is afraid of falling when held in her hands, and afraid of melting when held in her mouth, but she is still cute and cute.
When she first went missing, the Duke of Qin did not dare to tell the old feudal lord.
During the Lantern Festival at the beginning of the year, she didn't like the large number of servants and maids following her, and after she got rid of them, she was targeted by the flower-girls.
The maids and servants of the Qin State Mansion realized that something was wrong after they searched for the missing lady for a long time.
The Qin government sent a large number of servants to search for him, but they couldn't find him. They went to Jing Zhaoyin to report the case the next morning, but they couldn't find him at this time.
The wife of the Crown Prince of Qin was crying because her heart was broken, and her body had become deformed. After half a year, she was about to die. Suddenly, the little girl was found, and just when the Lin family was ransacked and killed
How long after.
She was found in the suburbs of Beijing. At that time, the little girl was in rags and skinny. She fainted on the ground and did not know whether she was alive or dead.
Passers-by saw that although her clothes were ragged, but the material was good, they quickly reported her to the official.
It wasn't until the government took the person back that they discovered that this little girl was very similar to the portrait of the lost granddaughter given by Duke Qin!
It’s just that the little girl in the portrait has a plump little face that is so tender that she can pinch water, but this little girl is already so thin that she almost loses her appearance...
And the worst part is, she is missing a left foot.
The prince's wife, Duke of Qin, was not overjoyed after finding her daughter. When she suddenly heard the news, she fainted.
The little girl who was brought back to the house was examined when she was unconscious. Except for her left foot, the rest of her body was intact and her body was intact.
Her feet were not eaten by wild beasts or injured, but were cut off with sharp tools!
The wound was clean and bandaged to prevent the little girl from bleeding to death.
After the little girl woke up, she didn't recognize anyone and was extremely afraid of other people's touch and the darkness.
She spent the whole day curled up in bed alone. No matter how heartbroken she was, she didn't dare to come forward. She had no choice but to keep him like this, weeping every day.
When the Duke of Qin saw that his most favored granddaughter had become like this, he felt even more angry and angry. He kept putting pressure on Jing Zhaoyin, the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Temple, and even wrote to the emperor.
When the little girl was first lost, her father Lin Yang was extremely angry when he found out about it. He even told himself and his brother about it.
Later, Lin Zhijun personally went to the outskirts of the city to discover the granddaughter of the Duke of Qin. She also made many inquiries, and she finally had a clue. Before she could tell her father how to follow the clues and knock out a gang to find the little girl, the Lin family had already...
…
Forget it, don't think about it anymore, the previous investigation was not in vain.
Whether it is for himself or for the granddaughter of Duke Qin, the trafficker deserves to die!
